Join us at JDMIS for an exclusive, enlightening virtual webinar on collaboration between Sri Lankan and Singapore Gem and Jewellery Businesses. This session has especially been devised for small businesses in Singapore and new entrants to the industry to better understand and execute cross-border relationships with trusted suppliers.

The webinar will be hosted on Thursday, 2nd November 2023, from 6:30pm Singapore Time.

This special session brings together industry leaders from both countries to share their wisdom, experience, and insights with our students, graduates, and other interested individuals.

Mrs. Ayoma Dias will then discuss opportunities for successful collaboration between Singapore Designers and Business Owners with Sri Lankan Gem Dealers and Jewellery Manufacturers, and explain NGJA's role in supporting these business relationships.


A discussion on National Standards for Gem Testing and Certification will provide a better understanding of the value of lab certificates of Sri Lankan laboratories and how they compare to similar national standards in other countries.


Finally, the session will conclude with an informative Q&A session moderated by Ms. Tanja Sadow, and a vote of thanks by Mr. Yasantha Yadehi.
